Class 5

A Message from the Class Teacher, Mrs Allen

Welcome back to another school year! The following information outlines Year 5’s topics for Term 1:

Maths

The children will be starting by looking at Place Value in Maths. Standard methods for all four operations will be developed across the year and we will be applying these skills to problem solving.

English

This term we will be looking at the story of Odysseus in conjunction with our Ancient Greece topic. We will be writing a range of fiction and non-fiction texts, including diary entries and non-chronological reports. In Key Skills, we will be developing our range of punctuation, including using brackets to add information. Mrs Fidge will be working with the class on developing reading comprehension skills.

Topic

We are learning about the Ancient Greeks this term. We will be finding out about their daily lives and culture and seeing the impact they have had on today’s society. We will also be visiting Dover Museum for an Ancient Greek themed day!

Science

Mrs Fidge will be exploring Space with Year 5 this term.

Religious Education

We will be considering what God means to Christians and how religious buildings reflect this.

Other Subjects

Mr Booker will be leading our PE sessions on a Monday – please ensure that PE kits are in school at all times.

Maths and English homework will continue to be set on alternate weeks on a Friday – please make sure that it is handed in by Wednesday at the very latest. Spellings will be tested every Friday.
